Worth picking up a Classy 4 way?
 

Is it worth picking up a Classified 4way at this time? Or should I wait for something else?

- Kriz

It looks like a great board, if you can afford to fit 4 GPU's on it go for it.

I want to try something else than the E760. E760 cold bug really low and have less bios options. The 4way is more suited for Gulftown chips.
My uncle is in Taiwan for two weeks, I told him to check the prices for a 4 way if he got the time.

what temp are you cold bugging at?

I don't know exactly, but I have gotten FF outside at - 30:p

Looks like a sick board ....

Wondering if there are new boards on the horizon aimed at the gulfy crowd though ???

Not real up on the way cold stuff as I just have an SS

But I have been under the impression it is the chip cold bugging not the board or do I have this all wrong as I have only been in this situation once with a 920 on Dice ....

That was on a 760 BTW

Good luck with it if you grab one ..... :thumbsup:

did you move the X-Jumper into the left position? Mine boots a 920 at -67C every time.

could be your chip itself kriz, MY 960 on the 4-way wont cold boot any lower than -48c exactly.

The extra options do help it seems (although I have no idea what they do, just copied shammys settings rofl) also the molex for more stable pci-e slot power is a nice touch.

^ from my testing -30C was a no go unless the X-Cool jumper was in the proper position. Also that molex is there to feed those hungry NF200 chips no?

Thanks for all the answers guys! It could probably be the chip, but we know that 4ways are the best overclockers so far. And the E760 is getting pretty old, and I can sell it with good benefit without loosing too much on it.

Yes, I always set the board ready for sub zero cooling with bios options and X-cool.:)

But is there any new 4 way board on its way from EVGA? Cause I don't want to buy a brand new Mobo for a lot of $$$ and they release a new one two weeks after.

i believe the only new 4 way from evga would be the dual socket w555

ummm tbh guys the E760 is an excellent board, and if your ever looking to sell lemme know and i will save up lol...

I need a good benching board...

but the E760 is the Bclk king right now.... the E762 is close, but unless you have 4 cards, you will not be gaining anything

I'm not going to get it. Way to expensive. 2x CPU pots, 2x i9 and two kits of awesome DDR3.

Yeah, E760 is a good board, but I want something for Core i9 and stuff. it seems better overclocking with E762 since it have a few more options and should be better at cold booting.

Anyone know where I could get a good deal at a 4way classified? Cause I need to pay 705USD for new one in Norway.

I picked mine up from tiger direct for $480 shipped to my house, you can probably get someone to send you 1 from here and still be cheaper

If anyone could help me out with that I would be great full!:blush:

e760 does work with all upcoming cpu's

just letting ya know...

but if you want one.... find someone in states willing to buy at cheapest price and ship to you....

i would, but tbh i dont really have the $$ for it

btw core I9 doesnt exist.... its core I7

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...5356&name=EVGA

The retail boxes are honking big though would probably be real expensive to ship it.

3.5 x 15 x 13.5
it weighs 7 lbs

Gulfie will work just as well on the 760 as the 762. Kriz, it seems like you have the Ineednewhardwareitis and common sense is out the window lol.

what he said.... a lil more abrasively than me, but same ideology, and the E760 is actually still the bclk king, just more people you will see running the E762 as they are running 4 card setups...

You should just buy both. :D

Yeah I might keep the E760. Not sure yet..I just badly want a E762.:D

I tried to ask tiger direct for a price for shipping the board to Norway. I didn't get a single answer of my 3x different questions..

is it true the e760s need to be modded by evga to run gulftown?

gulftown.... no......

Newer westmere cpu's...... yes....

if you need it done... lemme know and I will get you goin

Found a 4 way over at ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Shipping says from 48-63USD shipment for Norway, depending on what shipping form you want. probably how fast you want it.

As someone stated. I could probably transfer money at PP to a fellow OCA member and order the MoBo from TigerDirect/Newegg to his/her address and then resend it to Norway.

I'd help you out, but I have to pay 7% sales tax on stuff I buy from Newegg. That is the cheaper place to get it though.

even on e762?

yes

You saying Gulftown won't run on E762?

gulftown willl

Was gonna say "You smoke from the other end of the pipe dude, not that end"

E762 won't run westmere?

Neuromancer, thanks a lot. I will need to wait for paycheck the 5th.:)

it will with a small mod i can set it up to be done

any pics of the mod or is that under wraps

TiN says it won't require any modification. just bios flash.

the bios is for gulftown.... the mod is for westmere

Shannon.. is it a mod I can do? Or should does it require me sending you the board before I send it off to Kris?

No worries, if it require a mod. I'll do it myself.:)

Rev1 will require a mod, but not the rev2 of the E762.

LOL I meant a mod you can do :p I am no modder (yet)
